This bright, boldly illustrated board book is a winner in bringing accessible mindfulness to the very young. The dialogue is simple to follow and encourages imaginative play to create a sense of happiness and focus. I found it to be an excellent warm up for tots yoga which led into some wild animal antics of our own. In this day, it transferred very easily as an online activity that I was able to share with my granddaughter,too. I love the straight forward approach using movement and imagination...
A terrific series to begin showing youngsters mindfulness through yoga. Reading through two titles in the series, I will write one review for both. In Animal Antics, Stewart talks the listener through some simple exercises that young children can do, coaching them to focus on each movement to ensure they are being mindful.

The gentle text and bright colors in the illustrations make the mo...

This book reads like a creative, calming transition activity from one activity to another. Part yoga, part imaginative play, completely delightful. The thick cardboard book and bright illustrations that depict the movements are all perfect for toddlers. Sweet and simple, this book will help your toddler be mindful and focus before you move on to whatever is next - even if that's just re-reading this book again.
The reader pretends to be an elephant swinging their trunk, then a frog hopping to a lily pad, then a cat stretching and meowing. Finally, the reader sits cross-legged with folded hands to be themselves and have a quiet moment of focus.This is such an imaginative book! Imagining that you are an animal is such a fun way to get children to do yoga poses. I love how it prompts children to get all those wiggles out in a constructive and enjoyable way. Each of the activities are wonderful for releasi...
